Tuesday, June 17, 2008 southern.sunset It's almost the end of the O&G posting. That's how long this blog has been dormant, thanks to the hectic schedule of the posting. Life can only get more hectic as the transition into the Surgical & Orthopaedic posting begins. I'm not complaining though, since it's Orthopaedics. Singapore was great, albeit it being only a day trip. The fellowship with the lads was incredible. Gonna miss this went we go our seperate ways after we graduate. Jeremy's always the livewire, Shiva's always the firestarter, Jenson just does the opposite of the 2 and I just sit and drive. Hopefully we'll get to meet up for these kinda trips should there be an avenue to do so in the future. The wedding we attended rocked. It was a cosy and had a really wonderful ambience. Gotta congratulate the couple and wish them well again. Else than the wedding, snapping pics of Singapore's wicked night skyline just totally rocked. I've always wondered why snapping pics in KL at night never compares to that of Singapore's night skyline. O&G hasn't been too bad. For once i've actually enjoyed a posting i'd always associated with some sorta medical plumber activity. Despite the horrible smell of liquor, those little lads and lasses which arrive out of the birth passage almost trigger tears from your eyes. It just makes you marvel at the wonder of God's creation. Brilliant, simply brilliant. I guess I know understand why my tutor has been pushing me to appreciate O&G in a different way. A big word of thanks to the man himself Dato' S for inspiring me. Serious crap. Contemplating on how close the day when what i hope would be my final examination kinda awes me at times. I just hope it ends soon for some reason. Despite that, there are days when i question if i'm really competent enough to be unleashed into the hospital to care for patients. Something I hope i'm gonna be capable of doing with God's constant guidance. Sighs. Just loadsa things to consider. Kinda minda boggling at times. Life questions have been bugging me lately some iritating reason. What happens when you are stuck between decisions that would affect your future? Should patience take precedence? Should giving up ever be a consideration? Loadsa 'shoulds'.... At the end of the day, cracking my head with an orthopaedic hammer would be the worse choice for sure. What I can safely conclude is, I know I do not have control over my future, only God knows for sure. As Proverbs 16:9 puts it, 'In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps'. Whatever it is, Lord let Your will be done, even if it means sacrifice. Seeking the Lord for divine guidance till i find renaissance.... Wednesday, May 14, 2008 So near yet so far It's great to have a break after close to 3 months of 'internship'. The past 3 months have really been an eye opener as to what I'm gonna expect when I eventually hit the wards as a houseman. It has really made medicine more meaningful as we are now given the privilege to suggest management options when Medical Officers do their rounds. This totally rocks. I've gotta say that despite the heavy workload, this is probably gonna be the most meaningful semester I'm gonna have. There's another 3 months to go, i just hope it continues to be as exhilarating as it has been so far. Breaks are always something we welcome. I once had a chat over tea with a senior regarding breaks back in my 2nd year of med school. Being a rather raw, half-cooked potato, i asked him what were holidays like in 3rd year. I was rather smacked like a fly with a fly swat when he mentioned 'in medical school, the term holiday is a misnomer'. At first, i kinda brushed off his comments thinking that he was some Steve Urkel wannabe nerd medical student who had no life and studied even during his holidays. As time flew by, those few words really started to mean something. It's true after all. Holidays don't exist in medical school, they are just a period for us to brush up on things we left behind in order for us to move on ahead. It really made sense. As of this break, it's the last one i'm having as a medical student. So yes, there is some element of emoness in it. But even then, it still sucks cos i've got to use it to go over my portfolios and get my CFCS information in place as the assessment is gonna be right smack on the day of the Champions League Final (speak of impeccable timing). So it's still work and the principle of 'misnomer holidays' does apply to this break as well. All's not too bad though. There are still moments to savour in life even though most of the time the word WORK malignantly flashes in your mind. I'm really looking forward to the weekend in Singapore with the lads. It's been quite a while since i last dropped by this ultra OCD city-state. As Shiva puts it, it's really just an extra-organized, spanking clean and costlier version of KL. As for this trip, it's mainly to witness a really joyous occasion. One of the lads is getting married. It's gonna be quite an experience as this is the first wedding invitation that i've got from a friend. Sounds pretty sad innit? I think it's quite normal since med lads only get out of med school rather late. As for this lad, i guess it means the end of 'eye-candy' years and hello to full-time loyalty. That remains to be seen. Either way, I gotta congratulate him and wish him many great years ahead with his future wife. May they have many mini lads and lasses which will make them smile till they drop! Aights... that's it for the moment. Till i return. Cheers! Thursday, May 01, 2008 Stargazing Nights in BP have been pretty clear and stars are really prominent. Figuring out one constellation from another isn't really my forte but it's always handy to have Liang give some pointers just as he did back in Seremban. Life in BP has been pretty much like stargazing. There's just so many things to learn and at times, the feeling of drowning in a sea of knowledge is there. It's quite obvious that without any guidance, life is akin to a lost duck flying in the opposite direction during winter time. In retrospect, the complexity of life has just been really hard to comprehend. Work is work and friendships are friendships. You can work well together within the same day and not be on talking terms outside the confines of the workplace. It's just been something that's been stinging my mind. I guess things aren't as simple as people think. Guess i'll have to seek God for some answers. As of now, life isn't at it's optimum potential. Tuesday, March 18, 2008 Strange... Another one of those strange ads you see in Batu Pahat. Only thing is.... there's someone in the photo mysteriously familiar. Is he applying for the job? I think you can ask him yourself. :P Friday, March 14, 2008 Caveman Post call, post call.... where am I? I'm in somewhere in Zoinkerland where people hallucinate after placing two toothpicks to prevent ptosis after 36 hours of non-stop hard core paediatric action. That's the exact state i'm in now. If there was an image of myself, i'd probably look like this: ![]() It's not all that bad here in BP. Other than the on calls, portfolios, CFCS, a freagin musang who bothers me everynight and the drunken man at the back lane, BP actually rocks. I'm surprised myself. Maybe that's why they called it 'chisel rock'. No idea actually. I know people ask me about the lasses in BP but all I can say is.... i'm in LOVE with the FOOD!!! BP food is 1 billion times better than Seremban food. One lesson i've learned is.... when the stomach speaks, everyone listens (yes, even if your mandarin or hokkien sucks). Here, even with broken mandarin, u can still order some heavenly food. The damage done so far: 1. Nasi Briyani (opposite Putra Hospital) 2. Nasi Briyani Gam a.k.a POWER 3. Otak-Otak @ Glutton square 4. Otak-Otak @ Yong Sheng 5. Fried Oyster @ Glutton square 6. Seafood Garden @ Minyak Beku 7. KOFU Coffee House 8. KIAFU Tai Chow 9. Kiamsiap Chap Fan 10. Swee Bee Chicken Rice As for things to do here... not too sure actually. It's basically work, eat, work, eat and work. That's probably why all the seniors came back to Seremban looking like gumballs after 6 months here. Not sure if i'll turn out like one. The current prognosis is looking bright. Well, gonna catch some snooze now. Probably check out the forest and the beach tomorrow should there be time. Adios! Sunday, February 24, 2008 Resuscitation It's been a few months since i last posted up something here. I've been on some sort of a blogging fast in some ways partly due to the recent Semester 9 final examinations. Thankfully, that's over and it's time to resuscitate this freagin blog. The last few weeks have been probably the craziest weeks i've had so far in Seremban. I don't think i've ever worked so hard before. I know there's still even more hard work required in the next few months. I guess i finally know the meaning of working hard and learning to put my faith in God when things are uncertain. Anyways, thanks to my boss up in heaven for allowing me to move on the next step in life. As for the experience of studying for this exam, it's been a wicked one. I've gotta thank my 'Band of Brothers' for enlightening me on some really crazy methods of studying. The lads are none other than Shiva, Jenson, Peter, Jeremy and the two lost blokes who MIA most of the time.... Shaggy and Hanisyam. After being stuck with them for almost a month day and night, you start to realize some interesting things about every lad. Beginning with Shiva.... the guy who introduced me to 'Indian popcorn'. This feller has the stuff to topple Datuk Seri Semi Value from the MIC president's post. With the amount of crazy stuff he talks, I think Semi Value would be shocked to the point that his toupee would probably fly off his head. Having him portray the role of a simulated patient during our 'fake' OSCE sessions is mad. It's the first time i've seen a 'patient' dress himself up like a mexican chicano and call himself Pablo. An Indian pablo. Who in this freagin world would have thought of that? Only Shiva. Macha, if only you were an MIC candidate, i'll surely vote for you man. Next would be Jenson.... Jeremy's favourite victim (botak head jokes 24 hours a day). This feller should probably be the star of the chinaman version of Lord of the Rings. After losing his 'ring', he would be crapping about how he loss his ring and the potential areas where his ring could actually be at for 2 freagin weeks. I bet Frodo wouldn't have even bothered if that would have happened. Thanks to our 'fake' OSCE again, we had to use his bed. Before we knew it, he found his missing 'ring' below his bed. I've never seen someone so happy to find a piece of bling bling that way before. Close your eyes and imagine Jenson jumping up and down bare chested like a small boy. I know it sounds unthinkable but think again. The irony of it all was that he lost his tendon hammer just after he found the 'ring'. This was just a day before the real OSCE. I think the ring has some powers to make things vanish. Strange. Everyone knows who Peter Chang Chung Meng is. If you don't know, then you probably are not alive. He is the nicest guy ever to roam the face of the earth (at least in Malaysia). As Jeremy puts it, it's like seeing an apostle walking in real life in front of you. He is the only guy who would go the extra mile for anyone who is in need. A great brother. Too many good things to say about him... Just meet him and you'll know what i mean. As for Jeremy.... the only Murud guy in Seremban and Batu Pahat. This guy is one mad man. Without him, our study group would probably be dead. His 'botak head Jenson' jokes are continuous almost 24 hours a day. With the crazy 'arguments' he has with Shiva, it's probably better than watching Seinfeld. It's the first time i've heard the word 'F#$K' used more than 15 times a day coming from one person. The weird thing is, it sounds so benign when he says it. Maybe i've just become numb thanks to him. As for splashing the cash, this guy is the gold standard. Specificity and Sensitivity 100%. It was just after our final OSCE when we drove around Seremban for 4 hours looking for an XBOX 360. When we finally saw it, this guy had no hesitation to flash the cash. I think he still plans to get the PS3 as well. That's one self professed Manic Murud. Great lad. Hope you fulfil your dream of becoming a priest someday man. As for Shaggy.... the real life Shaggy of Scoobie Doo minus the dog. He's too mysterious. The last of the lot would be Hanisyam.... the mentos man. Without him, our study group would be hypoglycemic. Thanks for the sugar boss. He is the cowboy who shot the sheriff to pass the borderline OSCE exam. Man did he leave us worried. Thankfully he's going with us on our bandwagon to Batu Pahat. I guess there's a lot more crap to write about. Gotta go pack my stuff to move down to Batu Pahat. Till the next post. Saturday, October 13, 2007 Firewerks!! Ah yes... its back to the time of the year where the police are back in action for their annual ops and people make a beeline back to their hometowns to join in the festivities. It's also the time where random blood sugar levels skyrocket to hit diabetic levels and lipid levels increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. With fireworks flying all over the place, there's bound to be some pak cik who will make noise once his cow shed catches on fire. Aights... that's really exaggerated. All in all, Raya has always been a great time to catch up with my pals. A time to celebrate after a month of fasting. I'd like to wish all my Muslim pals Selamat Hari Raya!! Cheers!! |
